DS90C363AMTD

Overview

The DS90C363AMTD is a 3.3V programmable LVDS transmitter designed for 18-bit flat panel display (FPD) link applications, supporting data rates up to 65 MHz. It features three differential drivers and accepts CMOS or TTL inputs. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.6 V and supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Packaged in a 48-pin TSSOP with a 0.5 mm pitch, it complies with EIA-644/TIA-644 standards.

Feature Summary

• Supports 18-bit parallel data transmission via three LVDS differential pairs
• Accepts standard CMOS or TTL logic input signals
• Programmable output characteristics for flexible system integration

Applications

• Flat panel display (FPD) link interfaces
• LVDS transmitter stages in display control systems
• Parallel-to-differential signal conversion for high-speed video

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm package type, tape-and-reel configuration, and lead-free status. Confirm the operational temperature grade matches the design requirements, as variants exist for commercial and industrial ranges. Ensure the component source is authorized to guarantee authenticity and traceability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 18-bit parallel interface requires conversion to LVDS for long-distance transmission to a display panel. Compare against the DS90CF364 receiver counterpart to ensure pin compatibility and protocol alignment. Verify that the input voltage levels match the driving logic family and that the thermal dissipation capabilities suit the enclosure environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the National Semiconductor FPD-Link family, later transferred to Texas Instruments. It serves as the transmitter side of the link, complementing the DS90CF364 receiver. The AMTD suffix indicates the specific automotive-grade or enhanced industrial variant in the TSSOP-48 package.

Replacement Considerations

The DS90C363MTD/NOPB is a direct equivalent offering lead-free compliance. For system upgrades, the DS90C365 provides similar functionality with potentially updated specifications. Always verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters before substitution.
